Part two of an annoying meme. The idea being that you’ve got a list of topics, and you give your unpolished opinion on each. Yeah, it’s all supposed to be at once, but I’m too much of a big-mouthed bastard to do that. Well, I could, but that would mean several days without updates, and I don’t want to do that. So, I’m doing a couple of topics a day.

And yes, I know this is inflammatory. I know I’m going to wind up offending pretty much everyone at some point. But I don’t mind. And that’s what really counts.

Okay, this is an annoying meme. The idea being that you’ve got a list of topics, and you give your unpolished opinion on each. But that’s all my blog is! Fuck, if I’m going to pack a whole shitload of issues into one post, I’ll have to go silent for a while. Or else… or else I’ll have to think up my own shit. Damn.

Screw you, q_pheevr, for forcing me to force myself to think. I’m going to split up the topics across several posts, because I have lots of interesting stuff to say or something!

I know I shouldn’t get down about financial stuff. I shouldn’t. It’s all just stupid materialism, it really doesn’t matter if I can afford to get Stuff. I know this, and I preach this to others and to myself.

An update to my
>previous entry: apparently this was a hoax. That sucks! Damn, and here I
was thinking that Americans had done something cool and grassrootsy. Plus I
always like to hear that the loose, moralless slut population is nice and high.

We are so smart! We joined together, so that while we still retain our national identities and unique cultures, we can co-operate on the financial markets!

GERMANY

I am german, und I like Industrial music, beer und ridiculously vell-constructed machines. But! I can go into England und use ze same currency I use at home, because ve are all part of ze EU! (How efficient!)

EUROPE

Yay!

SPAIN

I am spaneesh. There ees all sort of poleeteecal confleect and estuff happening een my country, but I can esteell go to Esweetzerland and get a job, because we are all part of the EU!

EUROPE

Yay!

ENGLAND

Oh, look. There are some more countries who want to join the EU. The more the merrier, I say!

EUROPE

Yay!

POLAND

Hello, we would like to be part of your happy union, please.

EUROPE

Happy to have you! As soon as we get a few agreements signed it’ll be official.

POLAND

So… that’s it? I’m going to be part of the EU? That’s great!

EUROPE

Yay!

POLAND

I can finally do something about my 20% unemployment rate! Now that my citizens will have EU passports they will be able to go and earn Euros in other countries. My people will have jobs, and my fellow Europeans will have a source of labour to boost the rest of their… I mean, our economies!

EUROPE

Oh, yeah, about that coming-here-to-work thing… see, we’ve been discussing this, and we’ve decided we don’t really want you working in our countries.

POLAND

… You don’t?

EUROPE

No, not really. We figure you’re going to come in and steal our jobs, driving down wages and ruining our lives.

POLAND

We would never do that! Mainly we just want to come to your schools, work for a couple of years in your marketplaces and come home to turn our country into a valuable trading partner.

EUROPE

Also, you smell.

POLAND

What?

EUROPE

Yeah. You really stink. It’s from wallowing around in filth all day. We don’t want a bunch of smelly Poles stinking up our cities, so you might as well just stay on your turnip farms.

POLAND

But… if you don’t want us to be a part of your economy, why did you encourage us to join in the first place?

EUROPE

Because we are an idyllic society, open to newcomers and making the world a better place by example! Yay!

HOLLAND

I am Dutch. I embrace some social laws and mores that other nations find veird. But I am free to vacation in Austria vithout impediment because ve are all EU!

I could have sworn that I just did this all last year. What more do they want from me?

I’m not, on the whole, an ignorant person. I like to keep myself informed on matters of international interest. I pick up new concepts easily, especially when there is math involved. I can reason circles around most people (not necessarily most people I know, but most people) and overall I am Not Dumb. However, as soon as someone starts explaining what sort of refunds and tax benefits I can expect I blank out.

One of the most popular non-bed locations for nookie is a car. Whether you’re fucking or just fucking around, car nookie has many advantages, but also a number of pitfalls that must be avoided to ensure the experience is a pleasant one.
